Great little snippet. I've always loved WW1 aircraft and the brave (lunatics) who flew them. If you hasn't ever seen the classic film "The Blue Max" w/George Peppard as the lead (Lt. Bruno Stachel) and James Mason as his commanding officer (General Count Von Kluggerman), then go rent/buy it now. You won't regret it.
Set in WW1, the dogfights are with real aircraft, not CGI animations, the story line is a compelling tale of duty and honor, and finally, Ursula Andress (Countess Von Kluggerman) is the femme fatale'....
